Blurb:
Busy juggling loan sharks and Amber Alerts, Detective Nickie Savage makes time when the FBI seeks her expertise with a child trafficking ring. But when Nickie discovers that the men running the ring are the same ones who abducted her as a young teen, the case gets personal.
Risking her badge, Nickie goes rogue. Luckily, she has Duncan Reed, along with his wire tapping and surveillance expertise. But Duncan also wants to take their relationship to the next level.
Now, Nickie must choose: break her own rules and risk her heart or forge ahead alone.
Review:
Wow. What a story. R.T. Wolfe combines mystery, suspense, and romance in this exciting detective story. Nicki Savage is strong and vulnerable, a tough cop with
a terrifying past. Duncan Reed loves her unconditionally. She’s not so sure.
What they do agree on is saving girls from prostitution. Heightening the
suspense, Nicki feels safe with Duncan to reveal her past, one glimpse at a
time. The FBI adds unnecessary complications. They’re
arrogant and act like they’re doing her a favor by exploiting her knowledge and
experience in rescuing girls. They reminded me of the jerks in the first Die Hard movie.
This is the beginning of a new series. However, I felt a
little like I came in after the beginning. The reader would benefit from
reading the short story prequel Savage
Echoes (free for Kindle, at this time). That being said, the characters are
well-developed--not just Nickie and Duncan but their families, too. The plot carries the reader on such a downhill ride, it’s hard
to put it down. Not a good idea to read this at bedtime unless you don’t have
to go to work in the morning. Well done, Ms. Wolfe.
About the Author:
R.T. Wolfe enjoys creating diverse characters and twining
them together in the midst of an intelligent mystery and a heart encompassing
romance. It's not uncommon to find dark chocolate squares in R.T.'s candy dish,
her Golden Retriever at her feet and a few caterpillars spinning their cocoons
in their terrariums on her counters. R.T. loves her family, gardening,
eagle-watching and can occasionally be found viewing a flyover of migrating
whooping cranes.
